== WHEN VULTURES ARE HAPPY == (AND OTHER NEWS)

Namaskar, A vulture becomes happy when it sees that something has died. Then that vulture becomes delighted as it will feast on that corpse. Likewise, an arsonist becomes happy when he sees a monument or house up in flames. That is when that arsonist becomes most delighted. Tragically, there are some groupists who have infiltrated into our Marga and they feel happy seeing our New Year's DMS canceled. In that case, what is the difference between the vulture, arsonist, and such groupists. Here then is all the latest news about the DMS issue, AN reporting & more.

MORE NEWS ABOUT THE CANCELED DMS

1. The police are there in the DMS Pandal area to prevent anybody from entering the pandal. So no margii can enter. 2. Initially, when the DMS was first canceled, then both groups decided to have a function without a DMS banner. B group was going to stage their gathering in the Memorial, and the Ranchi group was going to be in front of the Prout bhavan. But the Purulia administration (govt) objected. 3. So Ranchi administration is basically telling margiis to not come to AN b/c DMS will not be held. However much we may not like or like Ranchi personnel, it remains a fact that this is what they are saying & doing. 4. But B group is adopting a crooked path by telling that 'We will do something somewhere'. So now the word is out on the street that they will do small meeting of their members at the Music college area and then later announce the false news that they have held DMS, or some other tall tale. 5. Anyhow this is the main news that neither the communists, nor the CBI, nor the Russians, nor the Indira Gandhi government could stop our DMC/DMS functions in the past-- no one could. But now the groupist fight of these two camps of defectors have stopped our DMS. This is completely unheard of that DMS will not be held on New Years Day. This will be a black spot in the history. 6. And the most grotesque part is that some in my unit spoke to a few top B group teamsters and they were totally happy-- even overjoyed-- that the court gave the stay order / injunction not to have DMS. This we heard with our own ears. And quite frankly, it was horrifying how they could gloat over such a loss to our Marga and to Ananda Margiis. That is when some said that the B brigade are no better than vultures & arsonists. Verily, they are just fake sannyasis, just wearing the dress only-- nothing more. 7. In contrast, when some of us spoke to a few H group officials, they were sad about the cancellation of DMS and they told that they will file a case in Supreme Court b/c the court has violated the fundamental rights of margiis to practise their religious rights. Certainly, the H teamsters are not saints; they have created hell in various regards. But at least on this point, they are not totally rancid. No doubt we have to watch them with sharp eyes all around, but at least they did not get a sick sense of enjoyment over the loss of our DMS program. That is what we all heard.

NEWS ABOUT REPORTING IN ANANDA NAGAR

1. In AN reporting started on 26th of Dec. The EC group reporting was held in the Children's Home and the Ranchi Administration reporting was in the ja'grti. 2. On the whole, for the EC reporting there was very low attendance with only 12 didis and 23 dadas present at the reporting in the Children's Home. For this reason the EC teamsters were shocked, dismayed, and frustrated. 3. For the Rudrananda camp, the workers were present in majority but at the same time no one should not think that wts were there b/c of their faith in Rudrananda. Rather those workers came out of their duty to follow the structural rules etc.

TENSION ON DIDIS SIDE

All didis were staying in the Berlin house. Both sides of didis were there. But the Ranchi side didis were taking food in Ja'grti. Why? Because either Ananda Giita' Didi side (EC) or the Ranchi side didis had broken the traditional mud stove (chulha). EC side didis have gas cylinders and stoves there and they are cooking their own food separately. So there are two chulha (stove) to chowka' (kitchen) in Berlin house. Neither team of didis is talking with the other or even following the basic tenet to do namaskar. Ranchi side didis who are in the majority did not go to do namaskar to Ananda Giita' didi or others. In the same way, theEC side didis did not do namaskar to Ranchi side didis. Neither camp has done this basic spiritual observance or practice.

RESOLUTION

So the poison of groupism is working all around. Until sane persons come forward this is the way things will be. There is no dearth of good people in AM, but such persons should not sit quiet waiting for some miracle to be performed. When they come forward then certainly good things will result.

BABA'S BLESSING

As the disciple of Shrii Shrii Anandamurtiji, even though I see nasty things going on I am also optimistic and think that good things are going to happen. Baba says, "There are some people who are pessimistic. They say that the society around us is very bleak, that it has no expression of vitality and that it seems that everyone is in a deep slumber. Pessimists say this because they have never made any detailed study of human history, nor do they care to. Had they done so, they would certainly be optimistic, because if they had looked carefully at the symptoms of pause, they would have realized that significant preparations were being made for the subsequent phase of speed. So under no circumstances should human beings be pessimistic. That is why I am always an incorrigible optimist, because I know that optimism is life." (AFPS-3) Namaskar, Gaurishankar
